I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

38 – Side) Adele Listonia (2)

Hwaaak-

Her face flushed red at the ridiculous incantation of her calling her fairy.

Although she was confident that she followed her parents to various social circles and gatherings, and as the only daughter of the Duke of Listonia, she had experienced all the compliments she received.

Because it was the first time I’ve ever heard a person ask why a fairy is here. She couldn’t hold back her shame and dyed her face red.

And the aftermath of her intoxication did not come only to her party.

“······Pushup.”

Her mother, the Duchess of Listonia, also tried to hold back, but in the end, it seemed that she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Her father laughed heartily as if he was enjoying the situation.

Countess Kindred, who seemed momentarily dazed by her son’s surprising (?) Intoxication, seemed to regain her senses only after hearing her father’s boisterous laughter.

“Lian…? What do you mean by that all of a sudden? Apologize to the princess.”

Even though she felt sorry for the Countess, who was trying to somehow somehow apologize to her son and restore her mood, in this situation where she was already very far from being serious.

The boy, who is the culprit behind all this, said further as if he had no idea what he had done wrong.

“······Isn’t it a fairy? There’s no way a person can be that pretty.”

“Poohup.”

It was at that time that the servants of the Listonia family, who had been controlling themselves, burst into laughter, saying that they had to endure it somehow.

It was only natural that her face turned red like a ripe apple.

It was only after the people who couldn’t hold back their laughter calmed down to some extent that the story resumed.

Her mother, in particular, had a hard time stopping her laughter, but she seemed to stop laughing because she thought it was for her daughter.

“····.”

A boy who had been beaten with a chestnut by his mother as a punishment for a nonsensical drunkard had a very sullen expression on his face.

With that sullen look on her face that she still doesn’t know what she did wrong, she almost burst out laughing, forgetting that she almost died of shame just now.

“Rian, this lady is very happy that you looked after our Adele as pretty as a fairy.”

“I’m just grateful that you took such a hard look at my son’s careless remarks.”

To the Countess, who bowed her head in gratitude for taking good care of her son, she waved her hand and said, “She is not her mother.”

“A rash statement. I’m sure my daughter would have liked it too. Wouldn’t it, Adele?”

“······Yes. I’m fine.”

When her mother asked if she was not, she had no choice but to say yes.

It’s true that being called a fairy was very embarrassing, but it was also true that it was a compliment that made me feel good.

What kind of girl doesn’t like to be praised for being pretty? That’s even a compliment from such a handsome boy. She couldn’t help but feel better if she was a girl her age.

Around the time when such heartwarming conversations were being exchanged, Count Kindred, who had been listening quietly, made an unexpected proposal.

“Now how about giving the kids some time to talk?”

A proposal to make time for her and Rian alone.

Hearing the suggestion, her father nodded her head as if it was quite okay.

“You mean let the kids talk and leave for a while?”

“Yes.”

Her mother nodded her head as if it was a good idea.

“That’s a great idea. Shall we try it now?”

“······Mom?”

She was surprised by the sudden conclusion that only she could not participate in the fast-paced conversations of her adults.

Seeing her like that, her mother gave her words of encouragement.

“Adele, do you remember what your mother said earlier?”

“······I do remember…”

“Then do your best. This mom is always cheering for you.”

After those last words, the Duke and Duchess of Listonia and Countess Kindred left her drawing room, leaving her and her husband, Lian.

And then, the silence that began to flow in the drawing room.

Suddenly, only the two of them were left, so my head was spinning, not knowing how to talk to them.

She was definitely a girl who had experience dealing with a lot of kids her age, but she had never had the experience of approaching her first like now.

In her head, only her feet were thumping, but she couldn’t easily open her mouth.

Fortunately for her, her awkward atmosphere was uncomfortable with Rian, so Rian spoke to her first.

“Adele Listonia… You said Princess, right?”

“Yes, Prince Kindred.”

He apologized for over-complimenting earlier.

“I hope you will forgive me for what I said earlier. It was so beautiful that I just spit out nonsense.”

“No! It’s okay.”

His voice was about to get dark again, as if it reminded her of the night she had been beaten by her own mother earlier, she waved her hand and said it was okay.

“······Really?”

Even though she said it was okay, he asked back in disbelief.

“······I wasn’t in a bad mood either.”

“I understand.”

When she told her that she was not in a bad mood with her face dyed red, a blush bloomed on her face as if she realized that Rian was also embarrassed.

And again the silence between the two.

Ryan turned her head away, as if not wanting to show her blushing face, and she somehow held her beating heart.

‘Why am I like this?’

I’m sure this isn’t the first time I’ve heard such embarrassing words.

Of course, it is true that I have never heard that she is a fairy, but she has received quite a few compliments on her appearance.

I’m sure it was, but her heart was beating fast as if it were about to explode.

As if he couldn’t stand it because he was so excited about this situation.

Feeling a tickling feeling that she had never experienced before, she suggested to Lian that she wanted to somehow get away from this feeling.

“If you don’t mind, Young master… Can I show you around our duke’s residence?”

“······I’m fine… But can I get out of here?”

Rian seemed to be caught by the fact that she and his parents had left them here alone.

But it was fine.

“It’s okay. I’m the king here at the Prince’s residence in Listonia, where my parents disappeared.”

Her parents, who left her and him here, will take care of her, not her or him.

I recklessly grabbed Lian’s hand and left her drawing room.

***

“This is… Our family banquet hall.”

The first place we arrived was the huge banquet hall of the Listonia family.

It wasn’t as big as the imperial banquet hall, which was said to be huge enough for all nobles in the empire to participate in, but the banquet hall looked like it could be attended by all nobles.

Lian spat out a word in a low voice, as if very surprised.

“······It’s big.”

At Lian’s reaction as if she was seeing such a large banquet hall for the first time, she laughed as if she was cute.

“It’s not comparable to the imperial banquet hall, but it’s the largest banquet hall in the empire other than the imperial banquet hall.”

“Have you ever been to the banquet hall of the imperial family, Princess Listonia?”

At that question, she immediately nodded her head.

“Yes. I’ve been there a few times with my parents.”

“Can I ask how you feel?”

“Should I say that I can feel the unique nobility of the imperial family? It was very splendid and very cool.”

Listening to her explanation, Lian said regretfully.

“Listening to the princess’s explanation, I can’t help but want to go there as well.”

“Have you never been there before?”

To her question, he also nodded her head.

“I’ve had the opportunity to go a few times… But I don’t really like going out… It’s a pity.”

She expressed her condolences to him, her face slightly blushing, as if she was genuinely sorry.

“It’s okay. There will be quite a few things to do in the future.”

“Yes…?”

Lian didn’t seem to understand her meaning.

So, for Rihanna’s sake, she risked her shame to unravel her hidden meaning.

“You’re engaged to me, so you’re going to go with me.”

“······· Ah.”

Only then did Lian understand her meaning, and her face heated up.

As she looked at her shy Lian, who was covering her own face with her hands, she suddenly had an urge.

‘I want to be called by my first name.’

The urge to get closer to Lian, the urge to talk in comfortable terms rather than honorifics.

She has the urge to be called by his first name.

I didn’t know why I had this sudden urge, but one thing was certain.

“Can I call you Ryan?”

That she couldn’t contain her urges and said it.

At her sudden suggestion to let go of her words, Lian seemed taken aback.

“I’m fine, but… It’s been a while since we met, so I wonder if it’s okay to let go already…”

“So, are you okay?”

“······If you have to question it, yes.”

“That’s it.”

After sorting out the situation, she called out to him in a different voice than before.

“Rian. I’ll call you by your first name now.”

Seeing her calling her by her first name as soon as she said she was okay, Rian couldn’t help but let out a small sigh at her and said.

“······Okay, Adele.”

“hehehehe.”

When she succeeded in hearing her name from Lian through her own stubbornness, her heart skipped a beat just like before.

But I wasn’t in a bad mood at all, on the contrary, I was in a very good mood. Unlike before, she was able to enjoy her heartbeat at a leisurely pace.

It wasn’t long after that that Adele and Rihanna became best friends.
